They still vibrate a little bit on hard starts but not nearly as bad as the stock ones.... it would be a good investment.

They're not bad.

They do take away from the refined feeling of the car, but I wouldn't call them "unstreetable". I'm glad I put a set in my car.

I'm tellin' you man, make your own or buy some homemade ones from someone on the .orgy. I loved my homemade ones until I thought they had created a problem. As a result, I reinstalled my stock mounts and drove around for a bit. The homemade mounts are far better than the stocks. Since the problem was not related to the poly mounts at all I reinstalled them. I ended up with back to back to back comparisons and I say you can't go wrong. No vibration (if anything it felt smoother), greatly reduced wheel hop, greatly reduced driveline slop and so on. I can't think of a single negative, big or small, relative to the feel of the car after doing the homemade setup.

But to each their own.

If you have harder struts/shocks you'll feel the vibration more. When I had my tokico's and I could feel the vibration @ idle. Now that I have my JIC's the vibration feels just like stock. So shock do make a difference in how much vibration you feel.

Other then the vibration definitely get the pr mounts. Wheel hop is pretty much all gone and taking turns harder feel more steady.
